Care home fish and chips for Kippington events
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Care home fish and chips in Kippington, cooked to order
Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for lunch clubs and family days.
For a care home in a place like Kippington, a chip van visit is a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
